With the rapid development of the construction and infrastructure industries, the demand for sand and gravel aggregates has been continuously increasing. Sand making machine are essential equipment for producing artificial sand used in construction, concrete, and road building. Small sand making machines, due to their low investment and high flexibility, have become a popular choice for small and medium-sized sand plants or individual operators. This article integrates equipment types, core advantages and price budgets to help you quickly understand the purchase cost and investment value.
Recommendations for Small-scale Sand Making Machines
1. Impact sand making machine (vertical shaft sand making machine)
Working principle: The material is thrown out by the high-speed rotating impeller and crushed by collision with the guard plate. The finished sand has a round shape and uniform gradation.
Applicable field: Medium and high hardness materials (granite, basalt), suitable for fine sand making.
Production capacity: 10-100 tons per hour.
Price: $6,800 – $60,000
Core advantages:
The finished sand is of high quality and meets the standards for construction sand.
Energy conservation and environmental protection: The energy consumption of the new generation of models is reduced by 15% to 30%.
The wear parts have a long service life and low maintenance costs.
2. Double-roller sand making machine
Working principle: Roller crusher two rollers squeeze and crush in opposite directions, and the particle size of the output is controlled by adjusting the roller spacing.
Applicable field: Medium-hardness materials (limestone, pebbles).
Production capacity: 3-450 tons per hour.
Core advantages:
Simple structure, low failure rate and low maintenance cost;
The output particle size is uniform and the overgrinding rate is low.
The price is affordable and it is suitable for users with limited budgets.
3. Hammer sand making machine
Working principle: The high-speed rotating hammer head of hammer crusher strikes the material, achieving high crushing efficiency, but the shape of the sand particles is slightly poor.
Applicable field: Low-hardness brittle materials (coal gangue, shale).
Production capacity: 80-600 tons per hour.
Core advantages:
Large crushing ratio and high single-machine production capacity;
The equipment occupies a small area and is suitable for small sites.
The initial investment cost is the lowest.
4. Mobile sand making machine
Features: Integrated feeding, crushing and screening functions, vehicle-mounted mobile, flexible relocation.
Applicable field: Temporary projects where mines are scattered and sites are limited.
Production capacity: 30-150 tons per hour (depending on configuration).
Price: $145,000 – $420,000
Core advantages:
No fixed site is required, reducing the cost of raw material transportation.
Rapid production start-up, deployment can be completed within 1-2 days.
Modular design, supporting customized configuration (such as adding a sand washing machine).
